There are over one million iPhones using the T-Mobile network. To use the Apple branded device, one would have to complete the jailbreak and unlocking process. Before T-Mobile offered micro-SIM cards, some elbow grease was also required. The T-Mobile SIM card had to be trimmed to fit into the iPhone’s micro-SIM slot.

Apple released their much awaited music-in-the-cloud service, iTunes Match, approximately one month ago in the United States. The $24.99 price tag came along with a product that differed slightly from the cloud services of Amazon and Google. Apple’s pitch was that uploading music to the cloud would be a breeze. Once purchased, the service would scan your iTunes library and match songs that Apple already had available on their servers. No uploading required.

A new report published by Nielsen offers a lot of insight into smartphone usage in the US. Some of the findings are particularly interesting because of how users trends are separated by age group. For example, the majority of 18 to 24 and 25 to 34 year olds now own smartphones: 53% and 64% respectively. We’ll cover the rest of the findings one by one.

Yesterday we covered how the lawsuits between Apple and Samsung may have fueled sales for the new Galaxy Tab in Australia. Now, it looks like Samsung is putting money where their mouth is and making it a marketing campaign.

In a rather ironic twist, it seems that all the lawsuits piling up between Apple and Samsung are actually helping to sell more Galaxy Tab Tablets. There’s a saying I’ve heard often about people wanting what they can’t have, or something to that effect. They apply it to all sorts of things like gadgets and cars to even relationships. Australia seems to be no exception. The gadget part anyway.

If you combine the entire Apple and Android OS phones out there, how much market share would they take? According to the research firm, The NDP Group, that number is 82%. That’s quite a bit of the pie.

I love to browse on my iPad right before bedtime. One of my nightly routines is to checkout the Top Charts in the iTunes Store. Some of the apps, I expect to see fairly often; Angry Birds anyone? Others are new ones I hadn’t heard of before. Today I came across iDashboard, resting snuggly in second place.

Nokia has stepped into the boxing ring between Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. In an interview with Pocket lint, Niels Munksgaard, a Nokia director, explained how the younger crowd are tired of their iPhones and Android devices.

In an unexpected move, Microsoft has released a mobile version of their successful Kinectimals game on Apple’s very own iPhone and iPad. Kinectimals for Xbox was one of the few games demoed before the official Kinect launch. Aimed primarily for the younger crowd, the game allows you to interact with virtual pets on a mysterious island.

SwitcherLoader, a new tweak for iPhone, is now available and can be downloaded for free on a jailbroken device. Developed by Fr0zen Sun, the small tweak allows you to customize the views and plugins into the app switcher interface.
